Chapter Twenty-Nine: The Great House
As soon as he went to the third room, Xie took Lilac over. Ding Zhen took a rattle and a handkerchief to tease Lilac, and Lilac also played with the little girl, interacting with her, and making the little girl's eyes slit.
Ding Zhuang's grandson went home after dinner.
As soon as you open the door of the main room, you can hear the "cooing" of the young eagles.
Ding Zhuang put his granddaughter on the kang, lit the oil lamp, and saw the young eagle looking at the clove intently, and there was still grievance in his eyes.
Ding Zhuang smiled, "What a smart little thing." ”
He went to the kitchen and took the icy chicken out of the cupboard, shaved a little meat and fed it.
Thinking that the young eagle would not hurt the lilac, he carried the basket containing it two steps away from the kang.
A "ahhh
On the fourth day of the Lunar New Year, on this day every year, Ding Shuniang will take her family and Ding Zhi's family back to her parents' house.
At the beginning of the day, Ding Zhuang wrapped the cloves in a small quilt and went to the third room. Before I entered the door, I could hear the noise inside, and the people in the big house had already gone.
The big house is prosperous, and there are eleven people of all ages.
Lilac has grown so big, and I haven't seen anyone in a big house yet.
As soon as I entered the courtyard gate, I saw three boys and two girls playing in the courtyard.
The three boys are Ding Dafu, Ding Erfu, and Ding Sanfu, who are ten, seven, and five years old respectively, and are the sons of Ding Youcai and Wang. Their clothes were thin and shabby, and Ding Sanfu's thick snot was about to flow to his mouth, and he didn't know how to wipe it.
Ding Sifu was less than a year old and didn't come.
The younger girl is Ding Zhen, and the older girl is Ding Youshou and Hao's daughter Ding Pandi, seven years old.
The children in the big room also have big faces, small eyes, and upturned mouths. Ding Pandi's eyes are relatively big and thin.
Lilac had to sigh that the Ding family's genes were super powerful.
She still thinks that even if they look alike, her little brother is much better looking than these rich and good-looking.
The children in the big house were obviously afraid of Ding Zhuang, and they looked at him in a daze and didn't dare to step forward.
Ding Zhen rushed forward and shouted, "Second grandfather, I want to play with Sister Xiang." ”
Ding Zhuang answered and entered the upper room.
There was an old man of about fifty sitting at the table of the Eight Immortals in the room, it was Ding Li.
Ding Xiang felt that Ding Li looked very much like a peasant uncle she had painted when she was in college in her previous life, with a sad and vicissitudes of life, wrinkles on his face like a knife, and his back was not straight, as if he was about to be crushed by a difficult life.
The chair on the other side of the Eight Immortals Table was empty, and at first glance it was reserved for Ding Zhuang.
Ding Shan sat on the first chair on the left, and his next head was Ding Youcai and Ding Youshou.
Ding Zhuang took the cloves off his back and sat down at the table of the Eight Immortals.
Ding Youcai poured tea for Ding Zhuang and said with a smile, "Second uncle, please drink tea." ”
Ding Li and Ding Youshou both smiled flatteringly.
Ding Zhuang's nose made a "hmm".
Ding Li smashed his mouth and said hesitantly, "Second brother, we are all half in the ground, and it has been twenty years since my mother died......
In the past few days, the old ladies have been making trouble every day, and they want to come to the third room for dinner, and let him talk to Ding Zhuang about good things. He was halfway through his words, his lips trembling, and he didn't dare to continue.
He was afraid that Ding Zhuang would beat him.
Ding Youcai saw that his father didn't dare to say anything, so he had to bite the bullet and say, "Second uncle, I can't blame my mother for that incident, my grandmother did it...... That, after so many years, some things should be put down. My mother misses my aunt, and she also wants to see Xiangxiang, and she wants to come and get together with the big guy. ”
Ding Zhuang's face sank, ignoring Ding Youcai and Ding Li, but looked at Ding Shan and asked, "Do you want that stinky girl to come to your house for dinner?" When she comes, I will leave, and from then on, we in the second room will never come to your door again. ”
Ding Shan hurriedly laughed, "I didn't invite her." If the second brother leaves, this guest will not be able to be invited, so let's go back. ”
Ding Li and his son didn't dare to say any more.
Lilac gave a thumbs up in her heart, grandpa is domineering!
There was silence in the room for a while, and several people bowed their heads to drink tea.
Ding Zhen pulled Ding Pandi and walked in, standing in front of Ding Zhuang to tease Lilac.
Ding Pandi looked cowardly and didn't dare to speak.
Ding Zhen smiled like a crescent moon with eyes, and learned from adults to flick her tongue. If you don't play well, the sound it makes is "tsk, tsk, tsk".
She played a few times, and then said, "Sister Xiang, when you are older, I will teach you to fold a veil." I'll fold tofu cubes. ”
Lilac smiled and said "ah" at them.
Ding Pandi felt that this sister was good-looking and kind, and smiled at himself, much better than his cousin and cousin at home.
She also mustered up the courage to say, "When the weather is warm, I will pick up black bubbles for Sister Xiang to eat, which is so sweet." ”
Lilac gave a few face-saving welcomes, indicating that she liked it.
Ding Zhuang smiled with Ding Pandi rarely, this was the first time he had given a good face to the people of the big house for so many years.
Ding Youshou was happy, patted his ass and said, "Xiangxiang is blessed, and the girl can be so loved by the second uncle." ”
Lilac was speechless. What kind of person is this, and the good things are so ugly.
Ding Zhuang glanced at Ding Pandi, who was as thin as a bean sprout, his clothes were patched, and the hem of his clothes and pants were connected twice, and he looked like a few rich leftovers.
He snorted coldly, "The girl is also my sister-in-law's granddaughter. Of course, the flesh that fell from his body hurts. ”
Ding Youshou laughed a few times and was speechless, without a son, he couldn't raise his head, and he had to be three points shorter in his speech and deeds.
The daughter-in-law was scolded by the old lady every day, and the younger brother not only had to do a lot of housework, but also was bullied by several rich people...... He was also angry. But what is the way to be angry, who let himself have no son. If the daughter-in-law has never been able to give birth to a son, she has to rely on her nephew to support him for the elderly.
Ding Zhuang dared to be so arrogant, not because he already had three grandchildren. If he didn't have a grandson, how could he be so good to his granddaughter? No way.
Ding Zhuang picked up two pieces of osmanthus cake from the table and gave them to Ding Zhen and Ding Pandi. Osmanthus crisp is bought in the best dim sum shop in the county, Sanyuanzhai, and only one plate is placed in the hall house to entertain distinguished guests.
Ding Zhen took it and stuffed it into his mouth. Before Ding Pandi could stuff it into his mouth, Ding Sanfu ran in and grabbed it.
"It's a pity that the girl eats so well and does it."
After speaking, he stuffed it into his mouth, and ate it with the snot in his mouth.
Ding Pandi blushed angrily, but he dared to be angry but didn't dare to speak.
Ding Li's face was expressionless, his grandchildren often fought, and he had long been numb.
Ding Youcai blamed Ding Sanfu with disgust, "How can you say that your sister should be beaten." ”
Said so, but did not act.
Ding Youshou said gently, "Pan girl, you are a sister, and my brother will let him eat if he wants to." ”
Ding Xiang doesn't come to one place, this family is the best. Ding Youshou is more shameful than Ding Youcai, watching his daughter being bullied and inaction.
She puffed out her eyes and yelled at Ding Sanfu, "Ah, ah, ah! ”
The voice was thick and loud, which startled Ding Sanfu, and he quickly stuffed all the snacks in his hand into his mouth and ran out of the house.
Ding Zhuang didn't want to take care of the big house, but when he saw his granddaughter helping Ding Pandi, he wanted to help.
took another piece of osmanthus cake and gave it to Ding Pandi, "Eat, who dares to rob me and beat him again." ”
